What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

HA! I decided to give up chocolate for Lent. (I know what you're thinking: "Gee, is it difficult being such a visionary / trendsetter / all-around unique person?" Answer: "Sometimes, but it's my cross to bear") I'm counting on you guys to help me through this.

Good start, too! I'll just pretend every piece of chocolate I see came from a lady garden!

I've been staring at this cake, trying to figure out something to say. So either two things will happen with this cake: Some frat boys will buy it or it will go in the reduced/reduced again/please somebody buy me shelf.

As an adult female, I was also like "Nothing funny about this cake!" But the 12 year old boy that lives in my brain and makes me giggle inappropriately at things like this is alternating between tuna jokes and snorting about the unicorn vomit description on the previously Epcotty wreck day.

That "fishy" comment was extremely offensive. There was a plethora of non-offensive jokes that could have been made about that cake (which is hideous, I'll give you that) and instead you went with the sexist cliche that "Girl parts smell fishy!"
